Churrascarria Paladar - Hackettstown

Expectations were high. I was disappointed. Very very noisy, could barely hold a conversation. Appetizer was a huge disappointment, octopus was extremely chewy. A very long wait for food to arrive, requested medium rare, received well done. Was hoping waiter would come back but eventually had to flag someone down. Unfortunately, will not recommend or return. Food: 3

Delicious and great ambiance to relax while dining. Only hiccup is not having enough traditional brazilian cuisine. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Forget Newark, this is the place to go. Best Rodizio in NJ. Amazing food served up by an attentive staff. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

I fell in love with Brazilian food when I first met my fiancée who is from Brazil. I was very excited to come here for my future mother in laws birthday dinner hoping to have delicious food and a good night. WE DID NOT HAVE ANY OF THAT! We all got the rodizio and the meet was not at all how normal Brazilian rodizio is. The steaks were drenched in garlic, and so tough to cut. I have been working in restaurant's for the last 6 years and the servers acted as if it was their first day. We were sitting there with no food for over 1 hour while the guys walked around giving every other table around us their rodizio. When my fiancee asked if he could also get some the guy just said “No” and walked away. Our server was nice, but the rest of the service was ridiculous. I can say the owner was very sweet and she was saying the food is not as good due to an accident she had gotten into she can no longer be the head chef. I really hope she gets better soon her accident was pretty bad. I have to say you need to have a back up plan/chef and your back up chef should be able to at least fulfill the same recipe standards as usual. This is a restaurant business you always need to be prepared for the worst. All I can say is how dissatisfied and disappointed I am. The price we had to pay for this was insane and a joke. I hate to leave such a negative review but I don't want other customers having the same experience we did.
